Are The xxx in 1 pcb's ......
Savannan:
I guess I don't know the answer to my question...but...
I already have a mame cabinet and a very nice custom multi-MK machine, but I was thinking about making a bartop machine...
The only downfall to a bartop machine in my eyes is small control panel means less real estate to put trackball, spinner, more buttons..hence, I could only use a fraction of the games out there. I took alook at the xxx in 1 pcb's but never played on one yet alone seen one with my own eyes I'm very skepital. I've been using MAME basically from the time I saw it on ATMOSPERICAL HEIGHTS (ohh yeah...waaay back)...and been a fan and have been keeping up on it since day 1. I know you cannot sell MAME...hence my question : Are the xxx in 1 pcb's use mame to emulate the games? and/or the profit from the roms? Is that why those PCB's such a NO NO? If so, then there is NO WAY IN HELL I would ever buy one. I have always respected the wishes of the DEV's.
I have no problem trying to cram a micro atx mobo/cpu/ect into a bartop but thought it might just be easier just to buy one of the xxx in 1 boards.
Just wanted to know what the deal is before I make my decision.
Thanks in advance guys....

Yes and yes.
XXX and XXXX are MAME on a PC with a JAMMA interface. XX are an early MAME build on a chip.

Savannan:
Ok, thanks for the info CJ..
Not buying one...I'll have more customability with a mobo/cpu setup.
thanks again
Yeah, I loved AH..daves and emunews as well...im sure that there not around anymore. /cry .... wonder if they have them on the wayback machine to look at...hmmm...

Dave's is now called VG-gaming.
I liked Zophar's Domain (spelling?)
Wait until Raspberry Pi comes out and then you can make all kinds of tiny projects.
